This verdict reaffirms that minor errors by passengers cannot be used to deny rightful compensation under railway accident claims.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court&rsquo;s decision was a setback for the Railways. The Railways had based their entire defence on claiming that the incident happened because of the deceased&rsquo;s own negligence, and not due to any fault or deficiency on their part.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Background:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Railways had claimed that the passenger, who possessed a valid ticket from Satna to Maihar in Madhya Pradesh, accidentally boarded a train that did not have a scheduled stop at his destination. Realising this error, he purportedly attempted to get off the moving train near Maihar station and suffered fatal injuries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Arguing on this basis, the Railways sought to deny the parents&rsquo; claim for compensation under Section 16G of the Railway Claims Tribunal Act, 1987 (&ldquo;Act&rdquo;), asserting that the deceased was not entitled to be treated as a bona fide passenger.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Rejecting this reasoning in unequivocal terms, the Supreme Court observed that &ldquo;merely because the deceased had boarded a wrong train, it cannot be construed that he was not a bona fide passenger so as to absolve the railway authorities from contending that deceased not being a bona fide passenger.&rdquo; The bench noted that the Railway&rsquo;s stance lacked any evidentiary backing and pointed to the absence of material establishing negligence on the part of the deceased. The judges further remarked that &ldquo;no sane person could have attempted to deboard or alight from a running train that too an express train.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">&ldquo;The railway authorities have taken a plea in the written statement in paragraph 3 that the deceased had jumped off the train, namely, had alighted at the station where he intended to alight, is a plea without proof. Having raised such a plea, it was incumbent upon the railway authorities to prove the same. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">However, the DRM Report is also silent on this aspect. For these reasons we are unable to accept the contention of learned ASG. The two members of the tribunal have rightly held that the railway authorities are required to pay the compensation.&rdquo;, the court held.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">With these observations, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and directed the Respondent-Railway to release the awarded compensation <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>within three months from the date of the order.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <hr \/>\n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Case Details: <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/api.sci.gov.in\/supremecourt\/2023\/34050\/34050_2023_15_31_65471_Order_04-Nov-2025.pdf\" style=\"text-decoration-line:none\"><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1155cc\"><strong>SHRIKUMAR GUPTA &amp; ANR.
